They are absolutely free to control thelr own business and sell their milk wherever they deem I lo thelr advanatge. 2. Dalrymen who join the Sheffield Producers Co-Operative Association, Ine. do not have to help pay the salaries of an army of officers, speakers and field workers, Neither do they have to pay a share of the enormous sums for the purchase and erection of plants and the operation thereof. 8.

Dalrymen who are members of the Shefileld Producers Co-Operative Association, Ine, last year pald less than 5 quarter of a cent per hundred pounds In selling and operating cost. No deductions were made from their milk cheeks for any purpose whatever between July 1926 and May 1927, and during that year the Association sold for its members over 800,000,000 pounds of milk at a total cost of only $14410.18 8. Compare the Shefiield Producers overhead. or operating expenses, with that of the Dalrymen’s League Co-Operative Association, Ine. It costs each Dalrymen's League farmer from six cents to nine and one-half cents per hundred pounds of milk EACH MONTH to pay operating ex- penses.

For nearly a year the Sheffield Producers Co-Operative Association, Ine. has negotiated a price five cents more a hundred pounds for 8 per cent. milk than the Dairymen’s League has offered Hts members for milk of the same quality. The Sheffield Producers Class No, 1 price for this month (November) Is 10 cents per hundred pounds more than the Dalry- men’s League prices for Class 1 milk. 8, For more than five years Sheffield Producers have received an ave erage of approximately A CENT A QUART IN CASH for thelr milk more than Dalrymen's League members have received In cash, and more than THREE-FOURTHS OF A CENT A QUART above what Dalrymen’s League members have received In both CASH and certificates of Indebtedness. Thus far during 1927 Sheffield Producers have received for thelr milk an average of a fraction over 80 cents more per hundred pounds than the Dalrymen’s Leagne has pald its members, 9. This last October Sheffield Producers received $2.51, net cash, per hundred pounds for milk testing 3 per eent fat. This Is equivalent to $3.01, nei, per hundred pounds for milk testing 35 per cent fat, and Is 285 cents more per hundred pounds than the Dalrymen's League pald Js members for milk of the same fat test. In September, Sheffield Producers received in cash 28% cents more per hundred pounds than the League paid; In August, 99 cents more; In July, 361% cents more; In June, 44 cents more; in May, cents more; In April, 2575 cents more, 10. The amount of money the Dalrymen's League WOULD HAVE PAID its prodecers, more than it did pay, had the League paid the Shel- field Producers CASH PRICE for the period from May, 1921, to July, 1927 {six years and three months) Is $71509.720.49. Deduct from this enormous sam money the League borrowed In the shape of Certificates of Indebted- mess, namely, $17,935805.54, and we have a balance of #53,571,024.95. From this take $10,665.128.08, deducted from the League farmers checks and ae- counted for as expenses, and we have a balance of $42,90290L59 NOT AC- COUNTED FOR and taken from Peol Dalrymen. These figures are oom- piled from the Dalrymen’s League printed reports. STOP, LOOK. LISTEN! Mr. Dalryman. 11. The Sheffield Producers Co-Operative Association, Ine, has approx- imately 12000 members. It started with less than 4,000 members a little over five years ago. During that period every Shefiield Producer has had a market for his milk every day and at the highest price pald any gromp. Every producer has been paid promptly and In cash. The organization has ne outstanding liabilities, an adequate balance In the treasury, and a steady growth In membership. The Association Is now doing better work than ever before for its members, 12. The Sheficld Producers have the best market in the East for thelr milk and receive the highest prices pald for milk In that market. The or- ganization works always in the Interest of its members. It sells its milk at the highest price and keeps its expenses down to the barest necessities. Sheffield Producers belleve that they have the best and most effective sell- Ing agency that has ever yet been formed. The above statements are facts and are subject to absolute substantiation from printed and written documents. Do not sign any contracts, Mr. Dairyman. Control your own business and your own milk production. You can do this, and at the same time get the highest market price for your milk and get it in cash, by delivering your milk to a Sheffield Plant, thus becoming a member of the Sheffield Producers Association.
